NRL for Hematology is which institute?

• A. National Kidney Transplant Institute
• B. Lung Center of the Philippines
• C. Philippine General Hospital
• D. Philippine Heart Center

Answer: (A)

The concept tested is where the National Reference Laboratory for Hematology is housed within the Philippine health system. National Reference Laboratories are designated centers that standardize and oversee reference hematology testing across facilities, ensuring quality and consistency for important services such as transplantation-related hematology, donor testing, and routine CBC/coagulation work. This hematology NRL is located at the National Kidney Transplant Institute because its focus on transplantation and kidney disease requires advanced hematology support, including crossmatching, immunohematology, and comprehensive blood testing, with the capacity to coordinate and quality-assure testing across other labs. The other centers listed are major specialty hospitals, but they do not host the national hematology reference laboratory.
